confirmed in the widely prevalent opinion that
a grave wrong has been done to the men VINO
make up that party. The address well says
that the case has been tried in the court OF
public opinion and that there has been but one
decision The claims made in behalf OF Irving
Hall and the Progressive Labor party were
clearly prepostcrous The law was passed IN
the interest of the political organization OF
which Henry George was the candidate Tor
Mayor last year, and its intent was "plain to
every citizen of New-York who knew the CIR
cumstanccs of its passage" This wrong can
not now be righted before election day. In
dignation is Justly TO be visited upon the
Democratic Police Commissioners for the
narrowly partisan course which they pursued
in this matter.

prFoRu THE ELECTION METHODS.

| DR.. Mc(;Iynn spoke last night OF the neccs-
sity of legislation by which the expense of
the printing and distribution OF ballots shall be
borne by the public treasury. The scandals
regarding party assessments arc fast bringing
all intelligent and patriotic men to INC Dcilci
that some such change in the law must be had
and that speedily. THE TRIBUNE has long
favored such plan. Mr.. Edward Cooper
framed one several years ago. the principles
Of which would undoubtedly meet with quicker
acccptancc now than they did then. few
months ago Mr. Allen Thorndikc Rice sub
mittcd through our columns a draft oil pro-
posed bill cmbodying the main IDEAS oil the
| Australian and English systems.
All of these plans recognize the TACT that
the printing and distribution or ballots IN
properly a function Of the Government, and
should not be left to private individuals. 1t
is necessary part of the election machinery,
and should be paid for ont OF the public treas
ury To do so would be TO remove prolific
source of corruption. The payment to the
workers" is an indirect form Of bribery, and
is clearly recognized as such by the practical
politicians But the methods by which the
money is raised arc not less dcmoralHng than
The ways in which it is expended. The men
most interested in the Offices to be filled are
expected to provide the money to carry the
elections The result is the enormous assess
mcnts which arc shame and r"proach III our
municipal politics. JudgcShipS are sold to the
highest bidder. ENIavagant salaries and bur
dcnsomc systems of fees 90 unchanged, because
it is understood that portion Of the money Is
to como into the party treasury. This Is an
abuse which the public has borne long enough.
The cost Of this work would hardly make an
apprrcablc difference in the total OF taxation.
and the Improvement in the methods and tone
of politics would be beyond all price.
We believe We may look forward to legis-
laion making this reform, il the next lcgiS-
Iatuic is Republican. There will be many
important matters Of detail to consider but
the main IDEAS ought not To be any longer
open to question among intelligent men. The
political conditions are not the same here aS
in the communities where this system has been
used and care will be nccucd in adapting it
to "a new soil but the change presents no diff
cuItics that cannot be overcome. The pro
posed plan has everything to recommend it.
and there is nothing against it, except perhaps
the opposition of the trading politicians. These
may not like to see their means Of 4 livelihood
destroyed but this consideration will hardly

investors. but in spite Of these events some
purchases on foreign account, either spccu-
Iatyc or for Investment, have been reported
during the past week. Inc stock market, III
spite of the dulncss and the much -dcplorcd ab-
scncc Of an American public. has yielded bit
little, closing at an average Of So9 Al per
share against $50 70 the previous week.
Bank ccarings also bear testimony TO the
increase Of domestic trade, though it may re-
fleet payments OH account of purchases made
some timo ago. At New-Yorlt the exchanges
have been G.1 per cent smaller than in October
Of last wear. but at the other chief centres OF
wholesale trade, taken in the aggregate, about
as much increase appears, while tho relatively
large gain at many Western towns swclls the
aggregate outside Ncw-Yorll to 8.7 per cent
above last years record. How many OF these
uavmcnts must be attributed to speculation in
corner lots and unoccupicd lands it is difficult
to indigo. but it begins to be matter of COM
rlaint that real estate paper is uncomfortably
abundant throughout the West and South,
second payments having been sought in vain
bv some holders. There is pcrceptblc pause
in building, and with obvious reason. "The
Real Estate Record" computes that the new
buildings in this city during the current year
would suffice for all the actual increase of
population during this year and about two
thirds Of next year, but the increase in building
has been insignificant here compared with the
change in many cities and towns at the West
and South.
Prices have been irregular during the week,
wheat and corn advancing half cent each, and
oats 3-S. with lard. hogs, eggs and sugar each
a little higher, and copper booming nearly a
cent higher But oil is . 81 cents lower,
coffee b-S lower, tin IA cent, and lead
Little lower. and cotton options have also de-
cliucd. There are reports Of sales Of steel
,aii, at S33. and Goa! is quoted lower IN spite
# = nominal advance. The speculative markets
arc not lust now affected by Treasury move
mcnts. though the Treasury last week took in
500 900 more coin and notes than it pad
ont besides adding 100000 to Its bullion
and - 200 900 to It's deposits in banks. Money
is not tight at the chief centres Of speculation
and trade but complaints Of slow collections
and ticht money come from not few points
at the West and South. From nearly al
ouartcrs. however, there come reports OF trade
n,uch larger than is usual nj this season and Of
enthusiastic hopes for the future, and II can
hardly be said that there is any lack Of " con
Gdcncc" TO promote activity in business. II

MONEY IND EENLYESS.

Trade. both domestic and foreign, has been
unusually largo in October IN spite Of the fact
that contrast with the phenomenal activity in
September causes a sense Of dulncss in many
branches. and in spite Of actual reaction in
some. There are also important branches of
business in which there has really been less
than the usual activity for the season iiut
these conflicting appearances do not outweigh
the broad fact that railroad earnings. pay
mcnts through banks, official records of foreign
trade and movements Of money all indicate
that the aggregate Of business transacted has
been remarkably large for the season.
Railroad earnings were not small last year,
but appear TO have been about II per cent
larger for the month now closing. This is ia
spite Of Il grain movement ny rail 10000
bushels smaller than in the same month last
wear; and in September "1hc Railroad ga
zcttc' calculates that earnings from that traffic
were less than half those OF September. 1856.
The exports Of three weeks Of October show Il
decrease Of 100000 bushels of wheat. or lS.G
per cent, and $4,000 bushels Of corn or 80
per cent. But The outward movement Of cotton
has been 7O1GG5 bales this month. against
only 52S, SS5 last year, ana the total exports
from Ncw-lorh show gain Of per cent over
last year while the increase in imports has
been about per cent
If exports and Imports elsewhere have in
creased in the samo ratio the excess of exports
in October over declared imports will be about
81, 100, 900, and after allowance for un.cr-
valuations and other items there would still
be about SlOOOOOO payable to this country
in specie. But the cessation Of gold imports.

Judgment, and the finest judicial temperament

Prince KrapOtlxine told meeting of Anarchist
sympathizers in London recently that if the con-
dcmned Chicago Anarchists hanged their
friends will be justified in wreaking vengeance
upon the authorities responsible for their execu-
ton. Such talk will not help the cause of the
Anarchists 1t will only bind more firmly together

termination TO stamp ont the enemies of order
and established institutions.

The Brooklyn Citizens League is successfully
occupying the position of Mr.. Facing Both-Ways.
1t takes all the credit Of both the nominations
for Mayor and then leaves voters at liberty TO
choose between them as they please. This is con-
siderate, to be sure; but he must be blind indeed
who cannot see without reading between the lines,
that the league has decided squint in the direc-
ton of Mr.. Chaplin.

fact bearing upon Colonel Fellowss candidacy
1t appears that during Mr.. Pecllham's brief
occupancy Of the District-Attorney office Hubert
o. Thompson urged him to ap. ONT Fellows as one

racy must provide for him. The County
Democracy probably feels just the same way at
